Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons logo

Dungeons & Dragons is a medieval fantasy role-playing game first published in 1974 by TSR. It is widely considered to be the first role-playing game ever published and therefore to have touched off the modern role-playing game industry. Currently published by Wizards of the Coast, Dungeons & Dragons is in its revised 3rd Edition (or "3.5 Edition") and uses the d20 System, which has become a widely-adapted universal game system. It features an extensive selection of fantasy creatures, a level-based class structure, a rigid magic system, and extensive use of a wide variety of polyhedron-shaped dice.

Campaigns

Stormraven's Eberron campaign is set in the Eberron Campaign Setting and follows the published adventure modules for that world. The party of player-characters is marginally heroic and has proved to be so effective in combat that very few "balanced" encounters challenge them any more. The game is played live and in person, every few weeks, whenever at least four of the five players are available.

Characters

Azgar Ankelm is a dwarven psychic warrior from Dijishy, currently living in Zoa in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting. He is relentess in combat, wielding a mighty greataxe of deep blue crystal and speeding about the battlefield in a way few taller figures can match.

"Shining Talon" Mandus is a noble, disciplined monk descended from a human mother and a gold dragon father. A zealous defender of the downtrodden, Mandus is also an eager explorer seeking his long-absent father. His only clue is the edge of fire, a magical greatsword left with his mother when his father departed.

Bru Le is a monk whose alliance is with House Deneith. He follows his internal compass of providing protection for those in need or hire, and his current mission is to track Lucan and retrieve a stolen magical sword. Bru is self-determined and diligent in his skill development of Rice Paper Walk and Wuxia. His latest attack, the 'Stinky Foot', is an addition to his arsenal of martial arts-based melee.

House Rules

Psionics and magic are different, two distinct forms of energy, accessed and controlled by different means. As such, they are not easily affected by each other. This has a variety of detailed effects on spells, powers and creatures.

A character with the feat Rice Paper Walk can safely stand on or walk across weak or flimsy surfaces; he can walk across sand, mud, debris, dusty floors, and similar surfaces without sinking or leaving footprints. A character must take Rice Paper Walk to gain access to the feat Wuxia.

A character with the feat Wuxia gains the ability to fly with poor maneuverability. He can also stand on or walk across very tenuous surfaces, solid or liquid, including open water, without sinking or leaving footprints.
